Service project:
Our Charlotte project will focus on an amazing organization, Birthday Blessings http://www.birthdayblessings.org which provides birthday presents and birthday parties for homeless children.
We ask that guests bring donations of new unwrapped gifts and party supplies. The greatest need is for teens and tweens.
We will assemble birthday kits and make birthday cards for children to go along with the gifts.
ABOUT (from http://www.birthdayblessings.org): Birthday Blessings was founded in 2005 by Amy and John Cervantes of Charlotte, North Carolina. Their family service project was born from a desire to raise their children with a love and commitment for giving to others in need. What began as a monthly birthday party at one homeless shelter in 2005, has now grown into a thriving non-profit that operates three programs serving homeless children and families across multiple counties in the greater Charlotte region.
The goal of Birthday Blessings is to bring joy, recognition, and support to needy children and families during difficult and sad times in their lives. Our three core programs raise spirits and boost confidence for homeless children ages tots to teens, and offer help and hope to homeless parents and their babies.
Every year, Birthday Blessings makes a positive impact in the lives of thousands of needy youth and families across our greater Charlotte community. As an all-volunteer organization, our dedicated "staff" of volunteers are truly the heart of all that we do.
We hope to see you there!
